    Well that was dissapointing, great tournament amd some very enjoyable results along the way.

    The lack of secruity at Wembley was crazy, it was all over social media that hundreds, if not thousands were planning to storm their way into the stadium.

    No wonder Southgate didn't want to take another striker as well as Kane and Calvert Lewin.

    Don't think the latter even made the bench for most of the knock out games and only was on it yesterday due to the injury suffered Foden.

    We have made progress under Southgate. 2 semi-finals and a final is better than any England manager. The top sides always seem to have better technicians than England, and we need to develop better players in that regard. The way Italy we’re pinging the ball around last night, meant we had to play on the break. The supporter in me wanted us to go for it, and play more attacking- but that approach would have meant we would have lost earlier. I was surprised Mount was left on for so long, just don’t know what he added.

    Agree, but the bigger issue is how, knowing that this is a cesspit of falseness, we have a Government and a variety of media outlets, like Talkshyte, GB News, the Fail and the Express that play to the audience for it.

    Fortunately, the public has made its mood clear and none of the little shytes involved are repeating their baiting today. If the England Team won anything from the tournament it was the battle over making anti-racist statements.

    It does make me smile this new notion that the England football team represent bright enlightened politics.

    The thing the England football team are primarily associated with both historically and this tournament are racist, thick, selfish, violent football hooligans. I have no idea how anyone can feel any pride in the england football team brand.

    I woke up this morning and didn't give the defeat a second thought. Couldn't give a single shyt. Conversely, a simple league defeat for Watford ruins my whole weekend.

    That's the best thing about international football.

    Coming over here, taking the jobs of honest British racists.

    Trouble is foreign racists, they work harder at it. While your British racist is slowly getting a daft tweet out about Marcus Rashford, your foreign racist has already been round and put shyte through his letterbox. And provided a reasonable quote for some electrical work while he was at it.

    Nah. The problem with your basic foreign racist is that he's lazy.

    He can't be arsed to abuse people himself, so he creates botnets to create fake social media profiles and harass people for him.

    Now, your basic good old British racist, he's willing to go and vandalise murals of the likes of Rashford in person. There's no sending a bot to do a man's job in Blighty!

    Good old British abuse from good old British racists, that's what we voted for, not these foreign botnet fake racists.

    Not many have mentioned the stamp on Grealish. Looked a bit of a red card job to me, endangering the safety of a player etc, which would've then given England a sniff against 10 men.

    Agree - after reading the headlines I had a look at Saka’s Instagram account. Admittedly I’m sure some of the comments had been removed by then but the ones left seemed to belong to people based abroad - one was someone in the US and another was apparently Chinese?!

    Clearly Southgate is no Bielsa. Bielsa has turned what were deemed average players into very good ones. Harrison, Ayling, Bamford for instance. Southgate is robbing a living. There have been favourable draws in the last two tournaments and if you win there is no asterisk. You can only beat what is put infront of you. Brazil won a rather weak 2002 WC that way. I highly doubt they are thinking of removing the star from their jerseys.

    Brazil made changes when 1-0 down and the pressure started to mount on Argentina. Did Scaloni who is on a fraction of the salary of Gareth tuck his hands into his pockets ? No. He made the required changes and nullified the pressure completely. Southgate lacks tactical nowse, the ability to be proactive and be offensive. Why managers persist in inviting pressure beggars belief. It is a surefire way to concede unless you have the Italian defence of the early eighties.

    As for the knuckle dragging minority. What can you do ? Fighting among themselves , attacking Italian fans and booing the anthem of that country. Why ? Do they think it makes them special ? That the Italian players will be cowed ? Thats why rugby is a step ahead. You would not see this either at cricket, tennis, the golfing cups. Football seems to attract it's dirty denizens. And not forgetting the Italians and other nations also have their own special oiks who indulge in similar behaviour. Those senior professionals who have been playing since they were children could not take penalties first before letting the kids take the pressure ? Rashford and his run up were akin to the unfortunate Simone Zaza:

    The development of Bamford and Ayling is insane isn’t it? Both deemed rank and file championship players until Bielsa arrived.

    Have the Yanks started to misbehave ? The ceremony in Paris was all very well behaved for the Star Spangled Banner and Ode to Joy.

    I wasn’t referring to the anthems, I was referring to loutish behaviour to put the Europeans off.

    The pull on Saka might have been interesting to see what decision would be made had it been 20 yards further down the pitch and more central.

    I guess the Italian defender won't have been as forceful!

    Our situation over the past 20 odd years has been weird in a way. Wally with the brolly aside we’ve nailed qualification and then always at least get out of the group. Over the same period, Italy, Spain, Germany and France have either failed to qualify, not gotten out of the group, or finished bottom of their group, yet also won tournaments inbetween. The Dutch to a lesser extent have reached a WC final but then also failed to qualify for a tournament.

    We’re far more consistent than all of them, yet can’t bloody well nail the important bit. I’d certainly take missing the odd tournament to win one like Italy!

    I refer you to the last part of my comment - it made me hungry. If it's a general common term and not slang then i'll delve a little deeper.

    Right having a brief deeper google it seems to be debated whether or not it's a racial slur or some BS like that. Think i'll stick to knowing it just as dinner.

    This notion that we've made "great progress" as a team is such utter b*llocks. Are people completely blind to the actual draw we've had in the World Cup and the Euro's, or is it just convenient to ignore it in order happy clap?

    We've beaten (scraped by) teams with inferior players to our own, and then Southgate has completely **** the bed both times we've stepped up to face some quality and exposed his own blatant limitations and weaknesses.

    Saying we've progressed because we've made a semi and a final, and then had a mare in both, is far too black and white and completely ignores the bigger picture and our actual performances.

    All sorts of videos going around with people kicking each other.

    Some having broken through the gates without tickets and others trying to retaliate.

    This is inside the ground too..

    Such a shame all this has taken up most of the headlines.

    Certainly means UEFA/FIFA won't be rushing back with a major event.
